Random Deep Dive: I'm a "Loser" baby

from Tater Thoughts · host Charly Tate

Cheez Whiz. Sitar. A shuffling beat. Termites. Doesn't make sense, does it? That's the brilliance of "Loser". When this song came out, there was nothing else like it. And who would have thought a song thrown together (in a kitchen?) within a matter of hours would hit the big time? Multi-instrumentalist Beck certainly didn't. But this is the song that kicked off his long and impressive career. He's performed "Loser" so many times live, it's probably been done in every genre imaginable.
